If you
are experiencing a difficulty in hearing, it is always a good decision
to look for a reliable audiologist and seek for the proper evaluation of
your condition. There are three different types of hearing loss and
each of them requires an appropriate assessment to provide suitable
recommendations to correct these hearing concerns.
Here are the three types of hearing loss with the corresponding causes and treatments:
Conductive Hearing Loss
Definition:
This type is a condition that obstructs the passing of sound coming
from outer ear going to the middle ear and passing through inner ear.
With this, you may need more energy or loudness to hear a sound more
clearly.
Causes: Common causes of are ear infection, allergies,
abnormal bone growth in your middle ear, a punctured eardrum, excessive
earwax, or a fluid build up from colds.
Treatments: Traditional
and modern hearing aids are effective devices to use to correct it.
Available hearing technologies can also be used to treat this type.
These treatments are middle ear implants, bone anchored hearing devices,
and bone conduction hearing aids.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Definition: Sensorineural is the most typical type. It involves an inner ear problem or the auditory nerve. When you have sensorineural hearing loss, it is difficult for you to transfer nerve signals to your brain, making it hard to recognise the clarity and volume of sounds.
Causes:
You can have it from birth or from exposure to intense and deafening
noise. Other causes can be traumatic injuries, a side effect from
medicines, ear infections, deterioration due to ageing, and etc.
Treatments:
There is no complete method that can repair the damaged auditory nerve.
Even medical or surgical treatment can't fix the impaired tiny
hair-like cells in your inner ear. Treatments such as aids or cochlear
implants can help aid this problem. The solution will depend on the
assessment of the severity of the hearing loss.
Mixed Hearing Loss
Definition:
From the name itself, it is a combination of the conductive and
sensorineural. In this type, you may be suffering from ear damage in the
outer/middle/inner ear or auditory nerve. When you are experiencing
factors that contributed to these two types of disorders, then you might
have the mixed hearing loss and it is advised to immediately seek help
from audiologists.
Causes: An ear trauma, active ear infection,
and all the causes of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss can
contribute to this hearing issue.
Treatments: Suitable treatment
depends on what components are more prominent, is it conductive or
sensorineural. If it is more of the conductive factors, medical and
surgical procedures are suitable options. If the loss is more on the
sensorineural components, hearing aid and implantable hearing devices
are the effective solutions.
Knowing these types of hearing loss,
the causes and treatments will help you recognise if have a problem.
But, even if you don't experience any of these difficulties, it is still
advisable to schedule a check-up. There is nothing wrong to monitor
your overall health and that includes the hearing test.
